Royal icing on fresh Marzipan the yellow colour 'leaks' through, but with fondant icing, much easier.
'Shop' Marzipan was far from new when I used it on the Christmas cake I made at school in about 1966. These days, even if I did intend to make anything of the kind, I would use 'liquid glucose' as the base (in fact I sometimes do, on my own recipe cake, with no dried 'vinefruits', and a marzipan based on hazelnuts instead of almonds, I only like almonds WHOLE).
